Proposal For Walt Whitman Middle School Interior Cameras

Walt Whitman Middle School is considering installing cameras in common areas of the school. The 2013 Virginia General Assembly established the School Security Equipment Grants program in the aftermath of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Some of the grant funding has been proposed to pay for video monitoring systems for Whitman MS to include interior and exterior cameras. More information regarding the grant can be found here. At the next PTSA meeting scheduled for November 14 at 3:00 PM at Whitman MS, Principal Herring will answer questions and gather feedback.
